It is no longer by arms that our enemies hope to defeat us, it is by corruption; it is by bribing assassins and immoral men in the interior... It was as a result of these atrocious plans that the Elections of Years 4 and 5 were run by Royalists in so many Departments, and that those of Year 6 came under the influence of Anarchists... But our enemies have not abandoned their projects, and for a long time now they have been intriguing, acting and using every means to seize control of the next elections, and to direct them according to the principles that animate them. To achieve their goal, they cover themselves with every mask, they wear every livery... The Government has great hopes, citizen, in your zeal and activity; it likes to think that the votes of your fellow citizens will be cast only for men worthy of public trust, and that this happy result will be particularly due to your care and efforts...." - Enclosed: Fine ENGRAVING of N. François de Neufchâteau Membre du Directoire Exécutif. Published in Paris rue Jacques N° 195.
